Ed, copy, sort of. You are saying that R&R of the cylinder would have left the adjuster behind?  Do not follow that.  But its not important.  You did it and the rattle can ended up making the whole job look like new.  And my question about does it stop is going to wait for drier weather, I'd guess.

And Piperato being civil?  When??  Where??  At the wedding, maybe, but then I was not there so . . .

Kelly: the wheel cylinder, which hydraulically pushes the brake shoes out toward the drum, is near the top of the assembly, 12 O'clock. The adjuster stars, which push the shoes out to just near the drum once or twice a season (if you're doing it right), are at the bottom, 6 O'clock.
